No idea.

Start by looking at the most-likely settings page for it.
(This did not seem to help me a lot, so I had to revise my approach.)
The reason I shot three photos of it, is to show how Win7 made it easy.
Or at least I visually recognize the Win7 thing I used to fix my
(French Canadian) laptop. The other OSes seem to conflate
language and keyboard settings, with keyboard options being a
subset of installed languages. And if your OS is using Hebrew as a language,
maybe that is why it is "leaking through" to interface elements. But maybe
you can`t have a Hebrew keyboard, without also installing the Hebrew language.
